Jaclyn Hill shuts down cosmetics line following years of controversy YouTube: Jaclyn HillYouTube beauty guru Jaclyn Hill has officially pulled the plug on her cosmetics line four months after announcing the closure of the company and her other brands. Jaclyn Hill is a prominent YouTube personality and makeup artist. Boasting over 5 million subscribers, Hill has been on the platform for thirteen years and has garnered a dedicated community of fans during that time. However, she\u2019s also become embroiled in a series of controversies throughout the course of her career as a beauty influencer that have left a sour taste in many viewers\u2019 mouths. Hill notoriously came under fire in 2019 after launching a line of lipsticks that many customers claimed were cracked, covered in unidentifiable fuzz, and even moldy. Since then, Hill has faced backlash many times due to her product launches. In 2021, she got blowback for releasing a \u2018mystery box\u2019 full of unspecified products from her brand. Later that year, she came under scrutiny for the price and \u201cover-hyped\u201d nature of a new product launch after her cosmetics were displayed for sale in Ulta. More recently, Hill caught flak for the name of her clothing brand, \u2018Koze\u2019 \u2014 which happened to be the same name as a pre-existing brand from a smaller influencer. Overall, the price of Hill\u2019s various products, and allegations of copying other influencers\u2019 brands, seem to be the root of critics\u2019 issues with her. In September 2023, Hill announced that she would be closing all her brands in a YouTube video and addressed the many controversies that cropped up during her time in the makeup biz.
